Welcome to The Osteopathic Center, where we prioritize holistic and innovative approaches to healthcare. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the fascinating world of chelation therapy, discussing what it is, how it works, and how our dedicated providers, who are certified by the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM), can help individuals suffering from heavy metal toxicity regain their health.
What is Chelation Therapy?
Chelation therapy is a medical procedure used to remove heavy metals and other toxic substances from the body. The word “chelate” is derived from the Greek word “chele,” meaning claw. This therapy involves the administration of chelating agents, which are compounds that bind to metals and facilitate their elimination through urine.
How Does Chelation Therapy Work?
Chelation therapy operates on a simple yet effective principle: it binds to heavy metals and toxins in the bloodstream, creating stable complexes that can be excreted by the body. The most commonly used chelating agent is ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). EDTA attaches to metals like lead, aluminum, and arsenic, effectively reducing their concentration in the body. Another common chelating agent used is Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMPS) to attach to mercury.
Who Could Benefit from Chelation Therapy?
Individuals with Heavy Metal Toxicity: Chelation therapy is a highly effective treatment for those suffering from heavy metal toxicity. This condition can occur due to occupational exposure, environmental factors, or other sources of heavy metal ingestion. Symptoms of heavy metal toxicity may include fatigue, cognitive impairment, digestive issues, and more.
